Building iso file from pfsense source code

[Getachew Getu]

Hello Everyone, First I Have installed FreeBSD 13.2 on my desktop via VMware.
Step1:
I have cloned the three files;
- FreeBSD kerner source,
- FreeBSD ports
- pfSense GUI

Step2:

Then some configuration files were renamed

1. FreeBSD source code

In the folder /release/conf/, rename pfSense_src-env.conf, pfSense_src.conf and pfSense_make.conf to libreSense_src-env.conf, libreSense_src.conf and libreSense_make.conf
Rename the file /sys/amd64/conf/pfSense to /sys/amd64/conf/libreSense

3. FreeBSD ports

in the file /security/pfSense/Makefile : there is no wireguard-tools>=0:security/wireguard-tools on the RUN_DEPENDS variable

5. pfsense source code

Go to the folder /tools/templates/pkg_repos/ in the branch you would like to build (masterfor dev version, RELENG_2_5_0 for stable version) and change pfSense to libreSense in the file names (e.g., pfSense-repo.abi => libreSense-repo.abi)
Edit the file /src/etc/inc/globals.inc : replace the content of product_name by libreSense, and the content of pkg_prefix by libreSense-pkg-.
In the folder /src/usr/local/share/, rename the folder pfSense to libreSense.
In the folder /src/etc/, rename the files pfSense-ddb.conf and pfSense-devd.conf to libreSense-ddb.conf and libreSense-devd.conf.
Edit the file /tools/builder_defaults.sh : remove if_wg from the MODULES_OVERRIDE variable.

Step3: Build the pfsense source code

As the name suggests, devel-12 contains the source code of freebsd 12. (pfsense 5.x was using freebsd 12)

Please retry using devel-main instead

Also, it is normal if wireguard-tools/if_wg are missing/already removed. wireguard-tools has been removed after pfsense 5.x

Can I close this issue?

I have used another version of source code for FreeBSD-kernel, pfsense, and FreeBSD-ports with the version of RELENG_2_5_0 (The version of each source code was 2.5.0). FreeBSD 12.4 operating system has been used for the building process, but still, we get the following bugs."

but still I have installed the dependency "rsync, but It does not solved.

Anyone can help me with the building process by fixing the bug.
